Simple, yet profound thoughts for people who truly desire a life of peace and joy describe “Tomorrow Can Wait, Yesterday Is Past, Live Today!” a new book by local minister Jim Colley. The book is scheduled to be released on Monday, Nov. 18, on Amazon.com.

Written in an easy to understand format, Colley relates his experiences three years ago that led to a transformation of thought, such as: Accept each moment. See each person as someone loved. Be nonjudgmental in thought and have no negativity in spirit. Do not allow your own beliefs (political or religious) to interfere with caring about others and being kind, though their beliefs may be different. Let go of the past and do not be obsessed with the future. Live fully in the present moment.

These are some of the simple but powerful concepts that will free you to live a life, consistently full of peace and joy, according to Colley. He also wrote that as you embark on a life-changing journey through this book, you’ll come to realize tranquility instead of just talking about it.

Colley is currently pastor of the Family Worship Center in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. For more information, visit www.tomorrowcanwait.org.
